Planning application
37 Villa Road London SW9 7ND
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
T1 Sycamore: Reduce to safe level Reasons: To maintain tree in a safe manner, reduce weight and windsail, prevent catastrophic collapse. Council Note: The notification has been returned and administratively closed in accordance with paragraph 127 of the Government's Planning Practice Guidance, as the proposed works are vague and insufficiently defined. The description "reduce to safe level" does not specify the extent of crown reduction or the proposed final height and crown spread. A new Section 211 notice with a clear and measurable works specification is required.
